Financiamento Florestal Sob Medida: Menu de Mecanismos Financeiros

The report identifies 30 international financial mechanisms mobilizing US$ 25.9 billion for tropical forests, though this is far below the US$ 66.8 billion annual need estimated by UNEP for 2030. While Brazil and Guyana have high access to these funds, many high-potential countries remain underserved. Financing is dominated by credit, grants, and results-based payments (especially JREDD+), with a strong current focus on conservation over restoration and deforestation reduction.

• There is a significant gap between current financial flows to the Agriculture, Forestry, and Other Land Uses (Afolu) sector and the capital required to realize the full potential of tropical forests. In 2023, flows to Afolu totaled US$ 18.2 billion, while the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP 2025) estimates a need for US$ 66.8 billion annually by 2030.
• CPI/PUC-Rio identified 30 international financial mechanisms that mobilize capital for forest goals, totaling US$ 25.9 billion in planned, issued, and disbursed resources. Ten of these mechanisms have reached a size of US$ 1 billion or more.
• A substantial portion of the mapped funding has not yet been deployed. Specifically, 31% of the total resources in existing mechanisms have not been issued or disbursed, with this gap being most pronounced in private actors (88%) and mixed funds (57%).
• Financial mechanisms are distributed across three primary forest objectives: conservation, restoration, and deforestation reduction. Half of the 30 mechanisms focus on a single objective: conservation (US$ 2.6 billion), restoration (US$ 2.2 billion), and deforestation reduction (US$ 1.3 billion). The other half pursue multiple objectives, with five mechanisms covering all three goals for a total of US$ 11.4 billion.
• Forest financing is dominated by three main instruments: credit, grants, and results-based payments. Jurisdictional REDD+ (JREDD+) programs are particularly significant, totaling over US$ 15.3 billion, which represents more than half of the total mapped financing.
• There is a geographic concentration of financial mechanisms in Latin America, with Brazil and Guyana having the highest access, with 24 and 19 mechanisms respectively. However, accessibility remains low for other high-potential countries; of the ten countries with the highest carbon capture potential, only Brazil, Cameroon, and Colombia are eligible for a significant portion of the mapped mechanisms.
